Gym And Supplement Discussion

If you don't count trivial sugars also, but at the end of the day it adds up to 200g sugar, did you not eat it?

 

Well in the context I was getting at with the word 'trivial', to hit more than 50g directly from things I consider to contain 'trivial' amounts, you'd be eating a ridiculous amount of food haha. At the end of the day I'm seeing these silly little amounts add up to maybe 50g of protein (and sugars are similar).

The amount of fruit I see some people consuming through the day blows my f**king mind though....I'd hate to think how much sugar they're taking in each day, even in the "healthy" form of fruit.

Just curious anyone on here who has seen results in benching , biceps and triceps for approx 6 months works in gains? Also I have read alot of conflicting views on carb and protein intake per day as well. I am currently 78 kilos and some body building sites say approx 260 grams of protein and 300 grams of carbs. Than other places I have seen tell me 120 grams of protein a day. Any ideas

about 1-1.5g per lb of bodyweight if you're counting. everyone's theories are different though. and so is everyones body. But now I'm just another statistic

I've seen results in benching, biceps and triceps in 8 months work in gains

Go to iifym.com and use the calculators to find your daily allowances for protein, carbs fibre and fat based on your age/weight/exercise level/what you're trying to achieve.

Hmmm that still equals approx 240 grams of protein a day. Damn that's a lot. I tried it last week while I was away training and just with powders I felt so full all the time I had to force it

[Kenna802]

Will do. Thanks for that !

well its only around 170 if you choose the lower side. Its not much at all really.
average 250g chicken breast = 75-90g protein.

Lol come again??

more like 50g protein brah

[Birds]

Most lean meats are around 20g/100g protein ratio.

[Kenna802]

That's what I thought too. Good discussion though. I so sick of sweet potato, broccoli and chicken lol

[Birds]

Try leg ham, tuna, and steak!

I was basing it on 25g panties

When most these body building sites say to consume x amount of this and that is generally for someone who is all roided up.

I've started to eat to more salmon, swordfish and barramundi 3-4 times a week

Sweet potato is really addictive but I end up eating around 100g of carbs from it lol

[bozodos]

from all the science I've read, they generally agree on around 1g / lb body weight.

[Trozzle]

I was taking in 300g+ and roughly 2500-3000cal per day at 78kg bodyweight and still dropped ~750g of fat per week. For me at least, there's nothing wrong with eating excessive amounts of protein. Worst case scenario is my body just shits it out without absorbing it lol. Winning.

That's about what I consume in sweet potato a day, about 1/4 of daily carbs

Better than a large bowl of pasta which can easily have 200+ grams of carbs based on a huge serving of it!

With excessive protein consumption, my urea levels were high after a blood test as well as liver function values, and that's mainly due to excessive protein that my body doesn't really need. Better to have more than less I say!

Exactly! Especially since something like a big fat steak is super filling and won't trigger cravings like an insulin spike apparently can. And it tastes gooooooooooooood.

That must be served in a mixing bowl.
